Asked whether Reid pays childcare, she said: "No, nothing. It's a real shame because I actually found a receipt of his for various sex toys, well over £500 including a f**king chair, a..." before her PR cut in and stopped her.

Reid recently accused Houghton of making him sound like a 'sexual deviant', to which she said: "I wasn't the one dressing up as a woman and using sex toys. I think he made himself a sexual deviant on his own."

On befriending his ex-wife Katie Price, she said: "None of my friends can identify with anything like this, so to be able to speak to someone who's been through exactly the same thing has been a massive comfort. None of my friends could get their heads around it, to be honest."

Although Reid has insisted Houghton knew his sexual preferences, she said: "It's his oldest trick. He said that about Katie as well. Had I known Alex was like that, I'd have never been with him.

"It's fine whatever you are - whether you're gay, bi, you dress up as women - do that, but you need to tell someone before you start a relationship with them. You need to be honest because he's now shaped my future without telling me who he really is."

Talking about the rumors that TOWIE's Bobby Norris has been sexually linked to Reid, she said: "That's not weird, is it?! That's normal considering the other stuff he's done."

Back to her glamorous best, the former Celebrity Big Brother star said that she's come out stronger than ever. She said: "2013 is a new chapter. I went through a stage of not looking great and not caring.

"I got to the stage where I couldn't even be bothered to wear any make-up but now I feel like I've got my mojo back."

And her resolutions? "Make more of an effort when I go out, not worry so much about everything, eat healthier - and drink more champagne!"
